SPX1117M3-L-1-8 from MaxLinear, in a SOT-223-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | power_in | Ground return. On the fixed-voltage version (SPX1117M3-L-1-8), pin 1 is tied to ground; this same pin is used as the ADJ feedback input on the adjustable version. |
| 2 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated 1.8V output (1.782-1.818V typical at 25°C). Requires a minimum output capacitor of 2.2µF ceramic/tantalum or 10µF aluminum for stability; supports up to 800mA continuous, 1A peak. The SOT-223 tab is internally connected to this pin. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | Unregulated input supply. For the 1.8V fixed version, must be ≥3.2V for full-load regulation over the specified conditions (absolute maximum 20V). A 4.7µF input capacitor is recommended for stability. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 513 faces against 75 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
